Bot wont talk & no error, how do i debug?

(selected opus tag bc i had to, to post idk what it is) how do i debug this? since it says nothing in logs and doesnt even light up green code (voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(...) is actually ran):

function sayAsUser(text, userId)
{
    const voice = voicesJSON();
    const name = getRandomInt(1000).toString() + ".wav";
    const filePath = `D:/js projects/schizophrenia discord bot/sounds/${name}`;
    // say.speak(text, voice.userVoices.voice[voice.userVoices.userId.indexOf(userId)]);
    say.export(text, voice.userVoices.voice[voice.userVoices.userId.indexOf(userId)], 1, filePath, (e) => {
        console.log(e);
    });
    
    console.log("trying to play audio...");
    const watcher = fs.watch("D:/js projects/schizophrenia discord bot/sounds", (eventType, file) => {
        if(eventType == "rename" && file == name)
        {
            console.log("actually playing audio...");
            voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(createAudioResource(fs.createReadStream(filePath)));
            watcher.close();
        }
        console.log(file);
    });
    
}

function sayAsUser(text, userId)
{
    const voice = voicesJSON();
    const name = getRandomInt(1000).toString() + ".wav";
    const filePath = `D:/js projects/schizophrenia discord bot/sounds/${name}`;
    // say.speak(text, voice.userVoices.voice[voice.userVoices.userId.indexOf(userId)]);
    say.export(text, voice.userVoices.voice[voice.userVoices.userId.indexOf(userId)], 1, filePath, (e) => {
        console.log(e);
    });
    
    console.log("trying to play audio...");
    const watcher = fs.watch("D:/js projects/schizophrenia discord bot/sounds", (eventType, file) => {
        if(eventType == "rename" && file == name)
        {
            console.log("actually playing audio...");
            voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(createAudioResource(fs.createReadStream(filePath)));
            watcher.close();
        }
        console.log(file);
    });
    
}

[email protected] @discordjs/[email protected] and node: v21.5.0

and this is how i get the voice connection:
client.on("interactionCreate", (interaction) => // on command
{
    if(!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

    if(interaction.commandName == "join")
    {
        try 
        {
            const voiceChannelId = interaction.member.voice.channel.id;
        

            voiceConnection = joinVoiceChannel({
                channelId: voiceChannelId,
                guildId: interaction.guildId,
                adapterCreator: interaction.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
            });
            interaction.reply("Joined voice chat succesfully!");
            console.log(`Joining vc ${interaction.member.voice.channel.name} (ID: ${voiceChannelId})`);

            voiceConnectionAudioPlayer = voiceConnection.subscribe(createAudioPlayer());
            
        } catch (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }        
    }
});

here are my intents:

const client = new Client({
    intents: [IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildVoiceStates]
});

const client = new Client({
    intents: [IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildVoiceStates]
});

ping me if you have a response .wav file btw

pat•9mo ago

first check it's actually reading the file correctly & the types here may have a hint

d.js docs•9mo ago

:function: createAudioResource @0.17.0 Creates an audio resource that can be played by audio players.

pat•9mo ago

pat•9mo ago

notably, that readstream isn't explicitly mentioned

skgOP•9mo ago

how do i check that

pat•9mo ago

start by breaking down this line into separate calls voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(createAudioResource(fs.createReadStream(filePath))); but i suspect this is the issue iirc you can just pass the path into createAudioResource

skgOP•9mo ago

im pretty sure i tried that already, but i changed it cuz it was in some example ill try it again tho

pat•9mo ago

ah u are right you can add a listener to the error event on audioplayer

skgOP•9mo ago

wtf this works i swear i tried this before 😭 i hate coding ong well ty so much ❤️

pat•9mo ago

skgOP•9mo ago

btw do you know if i can delete the mp4 file right after i give the command to play it?

pat•9mo ago

i think so should be read entirely into memory

skgOP•9mo ago

oh gotcha how do you delete files in nodejs btw lol

pat•9mo ago

idk google it

skgOP•9mo ago

oh its fs.rm why is it an abreviation

pat•9mo ago

cause rm is a native command in every system
